Chapter 197: Going to the Hospital

Granny Yuan’s expression soured at Granny Yun’s retort.

’How could she say that about me?’

"I’m just trying to do what’s best for you. If we’re all kind to each other, it’s good for you, good for me, good for everyone."

Granny Yun stared at her, her face devoid of expression. "Do we look like we think this is good?"

Wang Mei sneered, "You might be fine, but I’m not."

"And if you’re not fine, I’ll be ecstatic."

Shen Yunlian’s voice was gentler, but her words were anything but. "Granny Yuan, you should really stop meddling in other people’s business."

Yun Jiao, hugging Big Black, asked in a clear voice, "Grandma, can I let Big Black bite them?"

The big black dog stood beside Yun Jiao, its eyes locked on the troublemakers. It bared a set of gleaming white teeth, clearly looking irritated by all the noise.

Quite a few of them were still afraid of Big Black, terrified of actually being bitten.

"Be a good girl, Jiaojiao. Let’s try to drive them off one more time. If they still won’t leave, then you can let Big Black loose."

Yun Jiao said, "Oh. Well, if Big Black can’t bite them now, can my brothers bite them instead?"

Yun Xiaowu and the other boys standing nearby: ???

’Uh... not that we’re opposed to the idea.’

Shen Yunlian said, "No, you can’t. They’re dirty."

Yun Jiao then held up Cat Boss. "Then I’ll have Cat Boss scratch them. Or bite them, that works too."

Cat Boss’s shimmering green eyes swept over the crowd before it bared its fangs.

The crowd: ...

’It was obvious,’ they thought. ’Yun Jiao really wants someone to bite them.’

"Yun Mu, we’re all neighbors from the same village. How much trouble could it be to just put in a good word for us?"

Yun Dan’s parents, not ready to give up, decided to try one more time.

Grandpa Yun tapped his pipe. "This isn’t a matter of putting in a good word. This is a matter of national law. What you did... was that the act of a human being? When you sold your own granddaughters, didn’t those girls beg you? And what did you do then?"

Wang Mei sneered. "If you ask me, they got what they deserved. They need the state to teach them a good, hard lesson."

When Yun Dan’s mother heard that not only would they not help, but they were also saying her son deserved it, her pent-up fury exploded. Her face twisted into a snarl as she lunged forward and grabbed Wang Mei’s hair.

"You bitch! How dare you curse my son! You’re the ones who should be arrested! My son is a perfectly fine person, and he’s only suffering because you heartless bastards won’t lift a finger to help!"

Granny Yun and Shen Yunlian immediately jumped in to help.

The members of the Zhou Family also joined the brawl.

Yun Jiao and the other kids were furious. ’Attacking people just because we won’t help? These people are absolutely shameless!’

The Yun family’s yard descended into chaos. Women were pulling hair and scratching faces, while the men clenched their fists and started throwing punches.

Yun Xiaowu and the others were hollering, ready to charge in and help, when Yun Jiao suddenly spotted Yun Zhuangzhuang standing a short distance away. He was eating something, looking completely unconcerned by the whole affair.

He was the most treasured boy in Cai Jinhua’s family.

She immediately grabbed the clothes of Yun Xiaowu and the other boys.

"Fifth Brother, go after Yun Zhuangzhuang."

’The most precious things are often the biggest weaknesses. If they dared to bully her family, then they shouldn’t blame her family for fighting dirty.’

Yun Xiaowu had the same thought, and his eyes instantly lit up.

"Alright, boys, grab Yun Zhuangzhuang!"

Yun Xiao Liu and the others all turned to look at Yun Zhuangzhuang in unison.

Yun Zhuangzhuang, still busy eating, was slow to react. It wasn’t until he was grabbed and kicked that he finally realized what was happening and burst into loud wails.

The moment Yun Dan’s parents heard their precious grandson crying, they whipped their heads around.

The sight made their hearts wrench in agony.

"Yun Xiaowu, you little brats! What do you think you’re doing? Let go of my grandson!"

"And you, Yun Pan Di, and the rest of you worthless girls! You just stand there watching your own brother get beaten and do nothing to help? What’s the use of any of you? You’re all a pack of ungrateful, heartless monsters!"

Yun Pan Di and her sisters were already used to the sound of their grandparents’ curses.

The fourth sister, Yun Wangdi, had a softer nature. The scolding made her want to go help, but Pandi stopped her.

Ever since her grandparents had ignored her pleas and tried to force her into a ghost marriage, a deep-seated hatred for them had taken root in her heart.

Now, seeing the brother who the entire family doted on getting a beating, she felt a surprising sense of satisfaction.

For the first time, she defied her grandparents’ words, not only watching coldly without helping but also holding back her sister, Wangdi.

As for Yun Zhaodi, though she was the youngest of the sisters, she was also the most cunning. She had already vanished sometime during the chaos.

Yun Zhuangzhuang was crying, snot and tears streaming down his face. "Grandpa! Grandma! It hurts! Stop hitting me! WAAAAH..."

Yun Zhuangzhuang’s grandparents wanted to go help their precious grandson, but they were tied up dealing with Granny Yun and the others.

Yun Xiaowu directly threatened Yun Zhuangzhuang’s grandparents. "Keep bullying my family! We’re all from the same village. If you ever dare to show up at our door again, we’ll beat up Yun Zhuangzhuang every single time we see him."

The two elders’ hearts ached terribly. They were so concerned that they didn’t even notice the few blows they’d taken themselves.

This was their family’s one and only precious grandson.

"We won’t come again! We won’t come again!"

Only then did Yun Xiaowu and his group let Yun Zhuangzhuang go.

With that, Yun Dan’s family finally backed down. They left, taking with them the still-sobbing Yun Zhuangzhuang.

There was no need to worry about the Zhou Family either. The Yun family had plenty of relatives and connections in Bailong Village; there was no way they would stand by and watch their own be bullied by outsiders like the Zhou Family.

So, once the fighting started, the Zhou Family members were quickly brought under control.

"Get out! Get out of our village! You’re not welcome here!"

The village chief, leading a group of villagers, drove the Zhou Family right out of Bailong Village.

Facing the sheer numbers of the Bailong villagers, the Zhou Family finally left with their tails between their legs.

After the trouble was resolved, Yun Linhai and the others thanked the people who had helped by handing each of them a cigarette.

The cigarettes were from a prestigious brand, one of the gifts that Wang Jianlin and his group had brought the other day.

After seeing off the onlookers and the people who had helped, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

However, they had all sustained some injuries, to varying degrees.

Wang Mei in particular had been caught completely off guard when Yun Dan’s mother suddenly charged, and her hair had been grabbed.

Now, not only was her hair a mess, but her scalp also throbbed with pain, and several bloody scratches marred her face.

Shen Yunlian’s clothes and hair were also disheveled.

Granny Yun, being on in years, had hurt her back.

Yun Linhai and the other men were also covered in bruises.

Aside from the younger kids who had been busy bullying Yun Zhuangzhuang, nearly everyone in the family was battle-worn.

"Those people are so unreasonable. They’ve been arrested and they still think a few words from us will make it all go away? I have no idea what they’re thinking."

Yun Linhe disinfected the scratches on Wang Mei’s face with medicinal wine.

Yun Jiao looked at Granny Yun with concern.

In truth, Granny Yun had just pulled a muscle in her back herself.

But Yun Jiao was still indignant. The more she thought about it, the angrier her little face became.

’No, I have to get revenge! Yun Zhuangzhuang got off way too easy with just one beating!’

"Grandma, you need to go to the hospital."

Yun Linhai and the others quickly chimed in, "Yes, you have to get it checked at the hospital. We can’t have you seriously injuring your back."

Granny Yun waved her hand dismissively. "I’m just a bag of old bones that pulled something. A little rest is all I need."

She really didn’t want to go to the hospital. She was still brooding over her last illness, which had used up all of the family’s savings.

But her family was insistent, and they ended up dragging her to the hospital even though she refused.
